Description adrelanos@riseup.net 2020-12-21 04:02:01 AEDT
There was an issue which effective resulted in broken SSH login.

Further changes in either OpenSSH and/or Hardened Malloc might lead to regressions.

Could you please consider adding a regression test for this?

Running the regressions test suite with Hardened Malloc enabled might not only ensure compatibility with Hardened Malloc but also reveal some memory allocation related bugs which might happen in setups without Hardened Malloc.
